Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Spicy chicken diced is a famous dish. Although Gu Yunji cooked it with his hands, he still has the basic cooking skills. He made this dish delicious and appetizing, so that several people couldn't help but eat a few more bowls of rice, even Gu Zhaoxi. Eat so that the belly is round.

Gu Zhaoxi had only eaten meals cooked by the cook and Xu Shuhua before, but never thought that Gu Yunji's cooking was so delicious. For a while, the image of her father in her heart grew a lot, and she was always attached to Gu Yunji after eating.

Gu Zhaoxi's stomach was soothed, and his mouth seemed to be smeared with honey. One mouthful of one father was so powerful, and he praised him "able to go to court and down to the kitchen". Upturned.

Xu Shuhua was amused when he saw it, but after recollecting the taste of spicy chicken, he couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. I haven't seen you show it before?"

Gu Yunji teased: "Do I dare to show it off? How can I explain to you that I, a young master from a family with a good life and strict family rules can cook, and the craftsmanship is good, so that you won't be suspicious? Instead of using Thousands of lies to tell, it would be better not to show it in the first place.”

Ever since Gu Yunji confessed his background, he has become much more relaxed in front of his wife, and he no longer has to worry about whether he will reveal his secrets every day.Xu Shuhua prefers the real him like this. He feels as if he has met a brand new husband and gets to know him better every day.

The more Xu Shuhua looked at him, the more joyful he became. He held his face in both hands, and his eyes were full of love: "You can cook, grow yams, and take the imperial examination to enter the imperial court. Why are you so good?"

Gu Yunji couldn't help laughing, and praised her for not stumbling: "Is this called amazing? Your standard is too low. I still think you are even better. You can go out of the hall and enter the kitchen. You are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to reading poetry You are full of talent, you not only manage the house in an orderly manner, but also raise our daughter so well, I think you are much better than me."

Xu Shuhua laughed out loud, "Why do you talk like a cannonball, with a set of words."

Gu Yunji coaxed her solemnly: "Young lady is so kind, I feel it and express my true feelings. Naturally, I can't finish my compliments."

"I'm used to making me happy." Xu Shuhua blushed slightly, and changed the subject, "You said today that chili is just a seasoning and cannot be used as a staple food, nor is it a high-yield crop. It stands to reason that it should be less important than yams, so why are you still doing that? Excited?"

Gu Yunji smiled and said: "Chili is a seasoning, but it's not just a seasoning. Although it can't fill your stomach, its status in the diet is not low. Especially after everyone has enough food in the future, there will be a lot of food for some people. Potatoes are not necessary to man, but chili is indispensable.”

Xu Shuhua asked: "Then, are you going to promote chili from Syria like potato?"

Gu Yunji said: "Yes, but chili is not a staple food after all, and the promotion efforts don't need to be as strong as potatoes. The third cousin said that this chili was brought by a friend of his who came from Shaoxing, which means that chili has at least a certain range in Shaoxing. Seeds should be easier to get than yams, and you don’t need to cross the ocean to buy them from America.”

"Mostly I have to ask Fan Li for buying seeds. I'll go to him when I'm free. As for how to promote this chili pepper—" Gu Yunji paused, showing a confident smile, "I've already done it. .”

-

"This is... hot pepper?"

Looking at the long red object that Gu Yunji brought, Fan Li identified it carefully, and asked with some uncertainty.

Gu Yunji was surprised and said: "Do you recognize it? Yes, this is pepper, which can also be called chili pepper. It is a spicy seasoning."

Fan Li looked surprised: "Seasoning? In the past, people saw it as a potted plant, but I didn't expect it to be edible? How do you eat it?"

Gu Yunji said: "There are many ways to eat it. Not only can it be used as a seasoning, but it can also be used as a side dish, and it can even be eaten raw. Of course, it is best to cook it... eh!"

Before Gu Yunji finished speaking, he saw Fan Li put the pepper in his mouth and started to chew like Gu Zhaoxi did back then.However, Fan Li was not as hot as he expected, but his eyes lit up: "It's really spicy!"

As he said that, he couldn't help taking a deep breath: "Wow, it's so spicy, I feel that the spicy taste is even more overbearing than cornel!"

Gu Yunji was a person who used to eat chili in his previous life. After timetraveling, because of the bland taste all the year round, he can hardly eat spicy food now, let alone put chili in his mouth and chew it raw.

He was dumbfounded for a moment: "You... don't you think it's spicy?"

Fan Li chuckled: "Spicy, but I have been taken by my elders to do business since I was a child, and I have tasted all kinds of food in the north and south, especially spicy, so I think it's okay. I have seen peppers many times in the coastal area before, but it's just Just take a look, if Master Gu didn’t tell you, I wouldn’t even know it’s edible.”

"Now that I think about it, the name 'Chili' given by Mr. Gu is more suitable for it than 'Pianjiao'."

Fan Li can eat spicy food, Gu Yunji felt that it would be more convenient to talk next, and asked: "In your opinion, those who like spicy food—especially those who eat dogwood all the year round, can get used to eating this pepper?"

Fan Li smacked his lips and recollected the taste: "...I should be able to. Mainly I eat it raw, and I don't know much about the effect of chili peppers mixed with other things. From the point of view of spiciness, chili peppers are not inferior to cornel. , as long as people like spicy and exciting, most of them can accept it.”

Gu Yunji was a little relieved: "That's good, so I can promote it with confidence."

Fan Li asked: "My lord wants to promote chili pepper? Could it be that it is also a high-yield crop with a yield of [-] jin per mu like yam?"

Gu Yunji said: "That's not true. Pepper is similar to cornel, and it is mainly used for seasoning, but it has a wider range of uses. It can completely replace cornel as the main spicy product. I plan to promote it on a pilot basis in Xuzhou Prefecture."

Fan Li mused: "The people in Sichuan are addicted to spicy food. Starting from Xuzhou Prefecture to promote it is indeed a good choice. Moreover, peppers have been planted along the coast, and the seeds are relatively easy to buy. There is no need to rely on the Flemish people to travel thousands of miles from Yamo." Leka shipped it.”

"If you want to promote it with yams, how many seeds are you going to buy first?"

Gu Yunji smiled: "Don't worry, peppers are different from potatoes after all. I'm going to change the promotion method."

Fan Li asked confused: "What kind of promotion method?"

"I'll tell you later." Gu Yunji said meaningfully, "Now, we have to wait for one more person."

Fan Li didn't know why and was about to ask again when he saw the door of the living room creaked and a person walked in.

Seeing this person, Fan Li was a little surprised: "Zhang Cuiying?"
